Chapter 37

The next day after breakfast, Mr. Ling took the initiative to say, “Yu, take Mengmeng to choose some extracurricular tutoring books. She will join the first year of high school in a few days. One needs to lay the foundation in the first year of high school which is as important as the third year. “

Ling Yucheng said gently, “Okay.”

When she went out, Su Meng brought Xiao Mei with her. As school was about to start, her placement problem needed to be resolved immediately. Old Ling had already handed that matter over to Ling Yucheng to solve it.

Ling Yucheng picked up the car keys from the coffee table and said, “We will go to the bookstore first, and then to the orphanage to ask about the situation.”

When she heard the word orphanage, there was a flash of tension in Xiao Mei’s expression, but she was sensible and didn’t say much. She silently grabbed Su Meng’s hand. When they arrived at the bookstore, Ling Yucheng chose Su Meng’s extracurricular tutoring books, which he had used before and found useful. When he checked out, he thought about it and sincerely suggested, “In fact, tutoring books are not so important. The important thing is to understand the knowledge in the book first, and be able to apply it by analogy. You should know that you can not chew too much, and do the extracurricular exercises according to your ability. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

Su Meng nodded obediently, “I know.”

Considering that Xiao Mei was only in elementary school, Ling Yucheng chose a few classics to give her. Xiao Mei was flattered, “Thank you, uncle.” Since Su Meng called Ling Yucheng uncle, Xiao Mei being younger than Su Meng called him uncle too.

Ling Yucheng had a very good temper. Even if he was called uncle he didn’t get angry. He gently said, “You’re welcome.”

As Ling Yucheng talked, it felt like spring breeze. From the trivial matter of choosing books in the bookstore that morning, Su Meng could see that he was polite, well-mannered, considerate, and reliable. They got out of the bookstore. Ling Yucheng walked forward alone and carried a bag full of books. Xiao Mei winked her eyes, rubbed Su Meng’s arm, and asked, “Sister Mengmeng, which one do you like better, uncle or brother?”

Su Meng was a little dazed by Xiao Mei’s words. She didn’t know whether to correct her way of addressing Ling Yucheng first, or answer her questions first. Before Su Meng could answer, Xiao Mei said, “Uncle is good, but the little brother is so handsome. I like them both.”

It took Su Meng two seconds to realize that the uncle in Xiao Mei’s mouth was Ling Yucheng, and the younger brother was Jiang Tingzhou.

Su Meng lightly patted Xiao Mei’s head, “You clever ghost, the one you call Uncle is only 21 years old this year.”

Xiao Mei smiled slyly, “Sister Mengmeng, which type of boy do you like best? Is it the domineering type, or the reliable and warm type? Or you already like that brother who saved us?”

Su Meng had a headache for a while, “How do you know so much?”

Xiao Mei was full of disapproval, “This is considered a lot? Actually I know more.”

Su Meng was silent for a while and then said, “Study hard and don’t think too much about other things.”

They walked to the side of the car. Ling Yucheng kept the books in the trunk, and thoughtfully helped them open the door. Su Meng pursed her lips and thanked softly. Xiao Mei held her face in her hands. She didn’t know what she was thinking.

After they bought the books, Ling Yucheng took Su Meng and Xiao Mei to the largest orphanage in Beijing. The dean knew that they would come and so he waited at the door of the orphanage early.

He stepped forward and shook hands with Ling Yucheng enthusiastically, “Are you the son of Lao Ling? You really are a talented person.”

Ling Yucheng smiled faintly, “I’m overwhelmed. I came today mainly because of this kid.” Ling Yucheng glanced at Xiao Mei who stood behind.

The dean showed a pleasing smile on his face, “I already know the situation. You can leave her to our orphanage. You can rest assured.”

As Ling Yucheng and the dean chatted, Su Meng and Xiao Mei said their send off wishes in the back.

“Xiao Mei, I’m sorry, the Ling family does not have plans to ​​adopt a second child.” After breakfast, Grandma Zhang specially called Su Meng to the kitchen and spoke with her heart-to-heart. In fact, Su Meng knew that from the start and understood it. The old couple had limited energy and had no intention to adopt another child.

Xiao Mei pretended to be nonchalant, with a big smile on her face, “It’s okay, Sister Mengmeng.

Su Meng lowered his eyes, “That’s… You will live in this orphanage. In the future if there is a suitable family, you can also get adopted.”

When she heard the word ‘adoption’, Xiao Mei shook her head hurriedly, and said in a low mood, “No. Mengmeng, it’s actually nice to live in an orphanage, really. What if I meet people like the previous family again!”

Su Meng said softly, “Actually…there are still many good people in this world.”

Xiao Mei nodded vigorously, “I know. Sister Mengmeng. Don’t worry about me. I can be in the orphanage by myself.”

Su Meng touched Xiao Mei’s head, “You know my phone number. If you get in trouble, remember to contact me immediately.”

“Okay, sister Mengmeng.”
